Grape, Orange and Olive Oil Cake
Ingredients:
- 200g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 160g caster sugar
- 100ml whole milk
- 80ml olive oil
- 55g unsalted butter, melted
- Zest of 1 orange
- 300g seedless red grapes
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C (fan)
- Grease and line a springform or loose bottomed 8 inch cake tin with baking paper.
- Slice each grape in half lengthways, and arrange the grapes (skin side up) in concentric circles on the bottom of the tin.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking powder.
- In a seperate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together with an electric whisk for a few minutes until pale and slightly thickened.
- Add in the milk, olive oil and melted butter and whisk again.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, adding in the orange zest, and mix, stopping as soon as it is fully combined.
- Add in the remaining grapes and fold them into the mixture with a spatula.
- Carefully pour the batter into the tin over the grapes you have lined it with and bake for around 45 minutes, until a knife comes out clean.
- Leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tin, then remove from the tin, flip the cake and peel away the baking paper to reveal the pattern!
- Enjoy!
